Rogue Star Contest Entry 2015

Author Comments

My entry for Jazza's Nov 2015 contest: Space Opera style poster for Rogue Star. I drew some base sketches and then colored/painted the final piece in Krita. My thoughts were a movie studio would use Norway and Hasesh as villains, and place them looming over the characters. I chose to draw the heroes from above to show that they were fighting as a group against the universe. I wanted to include the ship, of course, and the pieces of the earth floating in space, as well as the rosetta sphere represented by the glowing alien alphabet. I figured a studio would also insist on Atlas not wearing her helmet because movies. Overall I was shooting for a 70s-80s style poster. This was a fun and challenging contest, and I wish the best of luck to all the entrants!
